Axios reported that Google, NVIDIA and Emerald AI launched a coalition with 20 companies and organizations to promote data centers that can flex power demand. The proposal includes shifting or pausing AI workloads, using batteries or nearby generation, and making promised flexibility verifiable before faster or larger grid connections.
